GREENTOWN SCHOOL
EQUAL TO THE BEST
Six Years Ago In An Old Building It Had 150 Pupils, But Today In a Modern New Building It Has 300 Students and
Eleven Teachers, Including
the Superintendent, C. A.
Hostetler.
HAS HONORABLE HISTORY
7-
"A good school, modern in every
way, is the best advertisement for a
small town, and it attracts worthwhile fathers and mothers to locate
there, or near there; at the same time
. it keeps boys and girls above the age
of 15 from longing for other schools
where they know they will secure
something higher than an eighth
grade education.
"Every dollar invested in a good
school earns at least 300 per cent, in
dividends for pupils, and as this
knowledge is what they need to face
the stern realism of life you can readily see that a town, large or small,
makes no mistake when it houses its
pupils in a modern building."
The speaker was C. A. Hostetler,
superintendent of the public schools
of Greentown, and he was seated at
his desk when he made the statement
to a member of the editorial staff of
The Sun.
Jolly, But "No Nonsense"
Superintendent Hostetler loves the
; profession of teaching. Personally he
is jolly and extremely good-natured,
and he enjoys the confidence of teachers and pupils to a remarkable degree.
You.can see at, a glance when he is
among them that they' esteem him
highly, and he has for them the same
affection and listens patiently and
sympathetically,to theii\tales of woe.
He believes .a little "jollying" now and
then gets the best results from certain
^pupils, but: he knows where to,'draw
the.line and he tolerates no nonsense,,
or what' the worli'-calls^'foolishness,''-
when he is convinced that a "pupil is
merely killing time in school. •
A Fine Building
This writer for The Sun walked
through the rooms in the old school
building a few days ago, and mentally
recalled his first visit eight years ago.
Back in those days the need of a new
building was apparent at first glance.
So stepping into the present home
he said he would like to see the rooms.
Mr. Hostetler courteously volunteered
to act as guide, and of course his
.offer was promptly accepted.
Wonderful Heating System '
Outside the building the weather
was cold. A "raw," nipping wind %as
blowing, but those inside the school
building did not know it. In the basement two large furnaces were, under
the personal supervision of S. B.
Hossler, the fireman, sending steam
heat into every room in the place. -
There are thirteen rooms in the
building and 76 <-lqckers." There is ■ an
excellent library arid'study hall. There

Superintendent of the Public School
of Greentown. When he went there
six years ago the school had 150 pupils and five teachers. Today there
are 300 pupils and eleven teachers, including Mr.- Hostetler, in a new building that cost $85,000.
is also a rest room and scales. The
science department is well equipped.
Have Artificial Gas
The home economics room—large
and airy—is worth a column of description. Cooking utensils of every
description, tables and private lockers,
and a large gas.range.
"Who supplies thegas?" asked the
newspaper man. The Superintendent
struck a match, and the range showed
a blue-white flame. "We have an artificial gas plant and we generate our
own gas," he. said.
In this roomtthe girls are taught
many things about preparing and
cooking a meal. The room and its contents would- delight a neat housekeeper. ( ,
Auditorium Seats 450
Another i-obm to instantly attract
attention is the auditorium and gymnasium. ..It will comfortably, seat 450
persons. Boys'and girls ..were being
put through their paces when this
writer arrived, and. the coaches were
watching with critical eyes the performers.-
There are shower baths to take care
of' the .athletes and there is plenty of
good .water.' 'y ■; >
. Manual- training,-is,.'..&. rpaKt of. /the
education of a'^timber W i;he 'Hoys,'
and tools ancl machinery are'"here in
sufficient number to supply the ; demands of the young mechanics under
an able instructor..
Thirteen Rooms
When asked the number of rooms
in the building, Mr. Hostetler said:
"Thirteen." Then with a smile he
added: "But we feel there is nothing
unlucky in the number. As you can
see, the pupils are all busy^"
The pupils range from first grade
to high school, and the high school
takes pride in the fact that it has two
basketball teams and a football team
equal to the best.
When it comes to a debating team,
Greentown will proudly tell you that
in the.county literary contest on Friday their speakers won over Union-
town 19 to 0, and Uniontown, be it
understood, is anything but "easy
pickings" for opponents. As a matter
of fact Uniontown is one of the hardest schools in the county to,subdue in

HIGHER WHEAT YIELD
KEY TO LOWER COSTS
C. W. Rabel Who Paid Special
Attention To Feeding His
Ground Found That a Proper
Amount of Chilean Nitrate of
Soda Increased His Profit.
HIS ADVICE TO FARMERS
Increasing the yield on each acre of
wheat is the most effective method
of cutting down the costs, according
to investigation reported by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
The Federal survey showed that a
bushel of winter wheat cost $1.47
when the yield averaged 10 bushels
an acre; $1.06 with a yield of 16 bushels; 92 cents with 21 bushels; and 73
cents with a yield of 28 bushels. It
was further revealed that the largest
items in the cost were for rent on
land, labor, and seed, three expenses
which every farmer must meet, irrespective of his yield.
Rabel Solves Problem
The average wheat yield in the
State of Ohio is about 17 bushels an
acre, according to Ohio State University extension staff and the Ohio experiment station. That this may be
substantially increased was demonstrated last year by C. W. Rabel of
North Canton, who paid special attention td the feeding of his crop. He
added 24.6 bushels an acre to his yield
following a top-dressing of 175
pounds Chilean nitrate of soda, which
was applied in early spring. The yield
of the field treated with the nitrogen
fertilizer was 55 bushels an acre, as
against 30.4 bushels from a check plot
which received 150 pounds of a 2-12-6
in the Fall.
Net Profit of $25.09
Aftei? deducting the cost of the nitrate, Mr. Rabel' found that the increase in yield netted him a clear
profit of $25.09 an acre.
The yield; of wheat and other small
grains depends on the supply .of .Available nitrogen in the soil during early
Spring, says the county agent-.* To- insure the high yields, he urges local
farmers to topTdress their wheat with'
quick-acting nitrogen this Spring.

Telling of the Activities of North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary this week
The Canton Civic Music association
is actively engaged this week in the
annual campaign for new members.
More than a hundred workers are conducting the personal solicitation campaign m Canton, North Canton, Massillon and surrounding communities,
in an effort to increase 'ijm present
membership from 800-tq^2Q0. The
plan of the Civic Music association,
which' is national in organization, is
to make it possible, through community co-operation, to hear the best of
artists and to feel that each artist and
each program belongs to them. This
is the third year that the association
has been in existence here.
Members of Committee
An honorary committee has been
named made up of citizens who have
been members of the association since
its inception, who are interested in
bringing good music to the community, and in a number of cases provide
memberships for those lovers of music
who find it impossible to meet the
financial obligations of memberships.
Members of this committee are: W.
H. Hoover, Mrs. Walter Deuble, Joseph B. Immler, Mrs. S. S. French,
Mrs. T. K. Harris, William T. Kuhns,
Henry C. Milligan, Adolph J. Roos,
Mrs. H. H. Timken and Mrs. Martin
H. Schmid.
$5 a Year For Adults
The campaign for new members in
North Canton is being conducted
under the leadership of the Rev. Paul
A. Rempe, chairman; Mrs. Glenn Nelson, president-elect of The Woman's
club, and Mrs. M. M. Rubright, president of the Ladies' Literary club.
Memberships cost §5 a year for
adults and $2.50 for children under 18
years of age. No memberships are received after the close of the campaign

NOON-DAY SERVICES
Ministerial Association Plans To
Hold a Good Friday Meeting
In the Lobby of the Community Building From 12:00 To
12:20 Mid-day.
EVENING WEEK WORSHIP
At a luncheon meeting of the North
Canton Ministerial Association held
yesterday (Tuesday) the committee
.om arrangements for Passion Week
services announced that noon-day services during that week as tentatively
announced in The Sun last week have
not proven feasible for this year, but
expressed the hope that within another year such a series of Lenten
services may be instituted.
Plans are being made to hold a
Good Friday noon service in the lobby
of the Community Building from
12:00 to 12:20 which will permit not
only the business men but also many
employees of The Hoover comparty to
pause and meditate upon the importance of Christ's sufferings and death
for mankind..
It is also hoped that services might
be held for the school children sometime during the day. Plans for these
services will be announced in The Sun
and church bulletins as soon as arrangements have been completed.
Passion Week Services
The pastors announced Passion
Week evening services as follows: In
the Reformed church every.night from
Monday until Friday inclusive; in
The Community Christian church,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings; in the Lutheran church,
Thursday and Friday evenings, all

April 7—Regular Legion meeting.
Captain Robert O'Brien to attend and
talk on the present condition of World
War Veterans.
Executive Meeting
On Monday night, March 31, an executive and officers meeting was held
and several Legion matters were talked over. The State Commander, Clarence White of the Wounded Veterans
Organization, attended with four of
his men and gave a very enlightening
talk. We. tried to secure him for our
conference on Sunday, but he had an
engagement in Columbus. However,
he will endeavor to attend the conference meeting the first Sunday in May.
His main idea in visiting, us was to
impress upon every veteran who had
an injury or sickness traceable to the
service, to turn in a request for compensation! Quite a few of our boys
have secured help through him and
it is a bet we do not want to overlook.. April 6th is the last day for
turning in these applications,
although the time may be extended
at a later date.
o
Euchre Party
A euchre party is to be given by
the Legion the week of April 20th
for the benefit of a service fund for
the aid and relief of emergency cases
which come.to our attention from time
to time. The money made from this
party will be turned over to our Service and Child Welfare Officers for
their use alone.
We have several cases at the present time that need relief and the Legion finances are not enough so as to
do this work the way we wish it done.
Therefore, it is up to each one of us
to do a little personal work to help
those that are not as lucky as we
are. We hope that we will have the
backing of the community for this
good cause and we .shall try to make
the party a success.

The census taker is on his (or her)
rounds. Early this morning Uncle
Sam's vast army got under way, and
for several days the enumerators will
be busy in every part of the United
States.
This section is divided as follows:
Carl Warstler, son of Edwin, has all
of Plain township west of Market
street road.
C. F. McFadden has all of North
Canton south of the centre of town
and West Maple street, and Mrs.
Lorin Wolf has the north part of the
town.
Last week The Sun said "it is the-
duty of every man and woman to answer questions truthfully," and this
week we repeat that adivce. C. F. McFadden and Mrs. Lorin Wolf are two
of the enumerators for Plain township
A courteous man or woman will call
at your home and ask a series of intimate questions about every member
of the family residing there, and about
every roomer not a member of the
family, also. He or she will insist on
the correct names, ages, occupations,,
etc., of all, and will write all the answers down on a big sheet of paper.
That is the job of the census taker.
It is a long time since Uncle Sum
has performed this highly important
task. In previous campaigns his
agents have encountered more or less
trouble in securing facts. Some of
those questioned have taken the attitude that it is nobody's business how
old one is, or how one is engaged
daily, or where one's father and mother came from. But it is the very
necessary business of the government.
The questions must be answered. The
compilation makes possible information that is of the grjsf»»t possible
importance.
Information Confidential
The census taker is your friend. The
information you impart to him will
hever be made public except in the
mass. You, ladies, should not hesitate
to tell him your ages. He will not reveal it to anyone. He is sworn not to,
and he has so much to do, anyway,
that he could not possibly remember,
your particular case.
He may seem prying, but every
question he asks is a necessary one-
So every family, every household,,
should prepare in advance for his
visit. Be ready to answer him accurately and quickly, and so not waste
his valuable time. Advise your friends
and acquaintances to be ready also.
It will lessen the task immeasurably.
Depends Upon Women
The director of the census says the
complete success of the campaign depends upon the woman, the "home
maker," for she, nine times out of ten,
is the one who meets the census taker
at the door and answers queries. Treat
him or her courteously, be posted
about every resident of the house and
you will be giving the best of aid ta
a great work.

As I looked at that beautiful setter
this morning, and at the photograph

thought: If the hater of a good dog
has any political aspirations he'll

The Democratic Census
THERE is one thing that may be
said of the census which sweeps
its enumerating net across the
country this week. It is democratic.
It accords no privileges. Poets and
stenographers, bootleggers and capitalists, men of all occupations, except
kings, are equals there. Tlie President
and the ditch digger occupy the same
amount of space in those records.
Babe Ruth and Henry Kurd may get
headlines in the newspapers, but in
the census they are but single units,
indistinguishable amidst millions of
units. Democracy never invented anything more democratic than the census.

Dixie Minstrels and Revue Drew a

A large number of men, women and

Minstrels and Revue in the Community Building on Friday night. The only-
thing The Sun finds to criticize was,
the slow start and the long wait between acts.
The cast contains several excellent
singers and dancers, and the jokes are
clean and witty. The revue was in the
nature of a novelty for a town the
size of North Canton. The inside of
a night club was shown.
A number of pretty girls took part
in a dance that was pleasing. All in
all, the entire show was far above the
average and worth the price charged'
at the door.

Eleven Teachers, Including
the Superintendent, C. A.
Hostetler.
HAS HONORABLE HISTORY

"A good school, modern in every
way, is the best advertisement for a
small town, and it attracts worthwhile fathers and mothers to locate
there, or near there; at the same time
. it keeps boys and girls above the age
of 15 from longing for other schools
where they know they will secure
something higher than an eighth
grade education.
"Every dollar invested in a good
school earns at least 300 per cent, in
dividends for pupils, and as this
knowledge is what they need to face
the stern realism of life you can readily see that a town, large or small,
makes no mistake when it houses its
pupils in a modern building."
The speaker was C. A. Hostetler,
superintendent of the public schools
of Greentown, and he was seated at
his desk when he made the statement
to a member of the editorial staff of
The Sun.
Jolly, But "No Nonsense"
Superintendent Hostetler loves the
; profession of teaching. Personally he
is jolly and extremely good-natured,
and he enjoys the confidence of teachers and pupils to a remarkable degree.
You.can see at, a glance when he is
among them that they' esteem him
highly, and he has for them the same
affection and listens patiently and
sympathetically,to theii\tales of woe.
He believes .a little "jollying" now and
then gets the best results from certain
^pupils, but: he knows where to,'draw
the.line and he tolerates no nonsense,,
or what' the worli'-calls^'foolishness,''-
when he is convinced that a "pupil is
merely killing time in school. •
A Fine Building
This writer for The Sun walked
through the rooms in the old school
building a few days ago, and mentally
recalled his first visit eight years ago.
Back in those days the need of a new
building was apparent at first glance.
So stepping into the present home
he said he would like to see the rooms.
Mr. Hostetler courteously volunteered
to act as guide, and of course his
.offer was promptly accepted.
Wonderful Heating System '
Outside the building the weather
was cold. A "raw," nipping wind %as
blowing, but those inside the school
building did not know it. In the basement two large furnaces were, under
the personal supervision of S. B.
Hossler, the fireman, sending steam
heat into every room in the place. -
There are thirteen rooms in the
building and 76
. Manual- training,-is,.'..&. rpaKt of. /the
education of a'^timber W i;he 'Hoys,'
and tools ancl machinery are'"here in
sufficient number to supply the ; demands of the young mechanics under
an able instructor..
Thirteen Rooms
When asked the number of rooms
in the building, Mr. Hostetler said:
"Thirteen." Then with a smile he
added: "But we feel there is nothing
unlucky in the number. As you can
see, the pupils are all busy^"
The pupils range from first grade
to high school, and the high school
takes pride in the fact that it has two
basketball teams and a football team
equal to the best.
When it comes to a debating team,
Greentown will proudly tell you that
in the.county literary contest on Friday their speakers won over Union-
town 19 to 0, and Uniontown, be it
understood, is anything but "easy
pickings" for opponents. As a matter
of fact Uniontown is one of the hardest schools in the county to,subdue in

HIGHER WHEAT YIELD
KEY TO LOWER COSTS
C. W. Rabel Who Paid Special
Attention To Feeding His
Ground Found That a Proper
Amount of Chilean Nitrate of
Soda Increased His Profit.
HIS ADVICE TO FARMERS
Increasing the yield on each acre of
wheat is the most effective method
of cutting down the costs, according
to investigation reported by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
The Federal survey showed that a
bushel of winter wheat cost $1.47
when the yield averaged 10 bushels
an acre; $1.06 with a yield of 16 bushels; 92 cents with 21 bushels; and 73
cents with a yield of 28 bushels. It
was further revealed that the largest
items in the cost were for rent on
land, labor, and seed, three expenses
which every farmer must meet, irrespective of his yield.
Rabel Solves Problem
The average wheat yield in the
State of Ohio is about 17 bushels an
acre, according to Ohio State University extension staff and the Ohio experiment station. That this may be
substantially increased was demonstrated last year by C. W. Rabel of
North Canton, who paid special attention td the feeding of his crop. He
added 24.6 bushels an acre to his yield
following a top-dressing of 175
pounds Chilean nitrate of soda, which
was applied in early spring. The yield
of the field treated with the nitrogen
fertilizer was 55 bushels an acre, as
against 30.4 bushels from a check plot
which received 150 pounds of a 2-12-6
in the Fall.
Net Profit of $25.09
Aftei? deducting the cost of the nitrate, Mr. Rabel' found that the increase in yield netted him a clear
profit of $25.09 an acre.
The yield; of wheat and other small
grains depends on the supply .of .Available nitrogen in the soil during early
Spring, says the county agent-.* To- insure the high yields, he urges local
farmers to topTdress their wheat with'
quick-acting nitrogen this Spring.

The Democratic Census
THERE is one thing that may be
said of the census which sweeps
its enumerating net across the
country this week. It is democratic.
It accords no privileges. Poets and
stenographers, bootleggers and capitalists, men of all occupations, except
kings, are equals there. Tlie President
and the ditch digger occupy the same
amount of space in those records.
Babe Ruth and Henry Kurd may get
headlines in the newspapers, but in
the census they are but single units,
indistinguishable amidst millions of
units. Democracy never invented anything more democratic than the census.

Dixie Minstrels and Revue Drew a
Well-Filled House.
A large number of men, women and
children saw and heard the Dixie
Minstrels and Revue in the Community Building on Friday night. The only-
thing The Sun finds to criticize was,
the slow start and the long wait between acts.
The cast contains several excellent
singers and dancers, and the jokes are
clean and witty. The revue was in the
nature of a novelty for a town the
size of North Canton. The inside of
a night club was shown.
A number of pretty girls took part
in a dance that was pleasing. All in
all, the entire show was far above the
average and worth the price charged'
